What to expect
Vanessa March's husband Lewis is meant to be on a business trip in Stockholm - so why does he briefly appear in newsreel footage of a fire at a circus in Vienna, with his arm around another woman? Vanessa flies to Austria to find her husband, inadvertently becoming involved in a mystery that spans three countries... and the famous dancing stallions of the Spanish Riding School.
The moonlight flooded the meadow, blanching all colours to its own ghostly silver. The pines were very black. As the stallion rose in the last magnificent rear of the levande, the moonlight poured over him bleaching his hide so that for perhaps five or six seconds he was no longer an old broken-down piebald, but a haute école stallion of the oldest line in Europe.

Critics Review

From opening to finale, this zestful romantic adventure grips, amuses, frightens and delights
Sunday Telegraph -
Mary Stewart is magic
New York Times -
She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance – with a great dollop of escapism as the icing
Elizabeth Buchan -
A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I’d rather read her than most other authors.
Harriet Evans -
The stylish, educated novels of Mary Stewart . . . arguably inspired the deluge of bestselling romantic fiction that has flooded the market in recent decades.
Guardian -
Mary Stewart sprinkled intelligence around like stardust . . . She built the bridge between classic literature and modern popular fiction. She did it first and she did it best
